Besides the risk of flooding due to very large amounts of rain, some tornado risk exists as well along the French southeast coast today. This current hook echo with pronounced couplet makes that clear:

A massive upgrade to almost all of our Latin American tornado data is now available on the site! We're aware of some additional data still for South America, but as of now we've included as much publicly available information as we could.

Yesterday there were many waterspouts in the Gulf of Genoa, and quite a few of them were associated with Doppler-detectable circulations:

This will definitely have a follow-up! We should be able to get a drone up over the river to see if there still is damage there, but there seems to be a 4 km path from where the TDS is up to the surveillance footage location (an impacted car wash) nonetheless!

With the help of new photo material, we were able to upgrade the Ohrdruf #tornado of 19 August 2026 to IF3. This makes it the first IF3 tornado in Germany since Bützow (5 May 2015). Since 2000, only nine IF3 tornadoes have been recorded in Germany. (Photo credits: Stefan Schambach, Ohrdruf)

The tornado damage path from August 19 between Georgenthal and Ohrdruf in Germany is clearly visible from the air. Over a distance of nearly 5 km and width of more than 500 m in places, extensive damage to trees and buildings can be seen.

We had a strong tornado in France today, moving through Pomas, with a clear TDS and debris ball. Besides this one, we had another highly likely TDS a bit farther east, southwest of Montlaur @corentinaugris.bsky.social . Additionally, many mesovortices were apparent in the subsequent QLCS.

The #tornado outbreak on 19.08.2026 was a day to remember with a classic setup (High shear low CAPE, HSLC). SRH was high and also concentrated on the lowest km. In addition LCL were low.

A severe weather and #tornado outbreak occurred on 19.08.2026. The German Tornado Expert Group (TOREX) is working intensively on the analysis of this event. DWD is also part of TOREX, jointly analyzes the large amount of info available. A first overview map showing the results has now been created.

For volumetric renderings, this monster supercell from South Dakota is one of my favourites. Look at the size of that BWER and region of strong cyclonic (in)flow! This storm produced hailstones up to 15 cm, 100 mph RFD winds and an EF2 tornado.

Hello everyone, I'm not dead! I was just busy with university exams and the relentless sequence of (extremely) severe storms we've been having in the last two weeks or so. In fact, we've been "spamming" the ESWD with reports for days now, this is the map since 15 July until now, and only for N Italy

Just wanted to say how awesome this is. That storm's radar presentation will never leave my head. Inferred debris trajectories here line up well with where we started seeing large housing/household item debris - coming from the east, the swath started ~Streator and lasted several miles to the west

I've finally had the time to work on something I was quite looking forward to: volumetric rendering of the polarimetric RGB. In this example you can see a deep TDS, with a large debris ejection occurring from the storm's top after a violent tornado hit Washington (IL) in November 2013.

OTD in 2015, Italy's most recent violent tornado. A terrible IF4 that split the difference between the Veneto towns of Dolo and Mira while scouring the ground, mangling cars, debarking trees and (partially) destroying buildings. 72 people were injured, one was killed after getting lofted in his car

OTD in 1965, one of Italy's worst severe weather days ever. Four strong to violent tornadoes caused massive damage from SE Piedmont to eastern Emilia-Romagna, causing 15 deaths and at least 244 additional injuries while destroying homes and vegetation and throwing cars from roads into fields

Well... that was an interesting signature last night near the Fossalon radar in NE Italy @federicopavan.bsky.social . It tracked mostly over sea, but hit a small section of land as well, so I'm curious whether some damage reports come from there. The circulation wasn't that strong though.
